I do not know how else to explain it but to say that the Dems are clueless when it comes to foreign policy.  I read here and here where the blame for the problem with North Korea is President Bush’s fault for calling North Korea the Axis of Evil!  Give me a break!  For some reason the Democrat leadership believes that if Bush would have just spoken to North Korea in direct talks that all of this could have been resolved.  These are the same Democrats that say we should always get the WORLD involved to solve problems, then when Bush does that and it fails then we should have just engaged in direct talks.  More of the same old crap!

But here is the thing, I do not understand how this is President Bush’s fault that we are in this situation with North

Korea.  He did not give them the means to build the weapons and they were making them long before he took office.  His only crime was speaking the truth.  North Korea is evil!  How can anyone claim that they aren’t?  They are literally starving their people, they have always been a rogue nation that has been lead by lunitics.  But just for grins, let’s look at the timeline of events.

1969:  North Korean soldiers cross the border and kill 4 soldiers of 3d Battalion, 23rd Infantry

1976:  18 August, North Korea crosses the border and uses axes to kill 2 US Service men.

1985:  North Korea ratified the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

1993:  North Korea says they will withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty

1994:  Clinton with his home boy Jimmy “Peanut” Carter work a deal with Korea.  The deal is this; North Korea pledges to freeze and dismantle its nuclear weapons program, the U.S. agrees to give North Korea everything they need to build the nuclear plants as well as supply 500,000 metric tons of fuel annually!

1999:  Since North Korea has behaved so well Clinton agrees to ease economic sanctions against North Korea.

2000:  In July North Korea is upset because their nuclear reactors have been delayed and not complete (we now know because they were using it to make weapons not power) and threatens to restart their nuclear program if Washington does not compensate them for their power losses.

2001:  A year later it is reported the North Korea is developing long range missiles.

2001:  In December Bush warns North Korea about building weapons of Mass Destruction.

Jan 29, 2001:  Bush calls North Korea, Iran and Iraq the “Axis of evil”.  (I wonder what would cause anyone to come to that conclusion?)

2005:  North Korea publicly declared that it possessed nuclear weapons and pulled out of the six-party talks hosted by China to find a diplomatic solution to the issue.

The rest is history.  Now we are where we are and I doubt that the comments by President Bush are the reason we are in this mess now.
